    HENRY ALONSO MYERS presents his Star Trek-ified version of Birth of a Nation in the latest "it's okay because they're aliens" racial comedy that Strange New Worlds is the genre they've pioneered. But does this one match up well with, say, "Spock Amok," or "Charades," the episode to which this is a soft sequel? Bryan and Kristen try not to concern themselves with the plot and just examine this one as an expression of... something. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    SNW: "What Is Starfleet?" (s3e7)
    Mar 10 2026
    BETO'S FIRST MOVIE isn't quite what it was sold as. It's not feature length and it's more of a hit piece than an examination of what Starfleet is, and that's probably for the best as it's clear that Erica Ortegas's lil' bro has some serious problems with what's happened to his sister in service of the fleet. Are Bryan and Kristen impressed by this format-shifting episode of Strange New Worlds? Check out Open Pike Nights' Strange New Words podcast interview with Alan B.

    TRUSTING HIS FARRAGUT. Lt. Commander Kirk is thrust into command of the USS Farragut, but thankfully, he has Spock, Scotty, Uhura, and Nurse Chapel there to help him get through a hairy situation. Meanwhile, aboard a captured Enterprise, Chris and La'an play Lee & Starbuck, skulking the corridors taking out Cylons -- I-I mean ancient astronauts who've lost their humanity and are trying to strip the ship for parts.

    THINE OWN SELVES. The Cerritos crew meets their alternate reality versions and are not too happy by what they discover about themselves via a parallel universe. Meanwhile, Tendi's choice to remain with the Orion Syndicate for a bit longer than you might expect gives her character an added, interesting dimension. This month's animated spotlight kicks off the fifth and final season of Star Trek: Lower Decks. Will Bryan and returning guest co-host Katie Hampton Trek, Marry, or Kill these episodes??

    JEAN-LUC'S MOMMY ISSUES. This week, Bryan & Kristen transfer command codes of the podcast to the hosts of the Ship Full of Jerks podcast, Mark Farinas & Ryan Thomas Riddle. They bring to a close Love In A Vacuum Month with a look at the time Jean-Luc Picard dated a subordinate. Does it reflect Gene Roddenberry's vision of the 24th century or is it something closer to a man with modern day mommy issues? The Jerks are on the case!

    LOVE, DS9 STYLE. Star Trek has had farces throughout its history and here's one that centers an unlikely pair: Worf and Quark. Does this take on Cyrano de Bergerac reach the upper echelons of the farce genre? Joining Bryan to decide is an old friend of Bryan's, writer-editor Cory Marciel. The grades begin at (33:00).
